We watched your videos assiduously in San José Costa Rica for months before coming to Paris this week. We were at Le Dome today when we saw you in front of us as a patron ran after you to give you a bag you left behind. Big smiles as we thought "we are actually in Paris just like you!" Fascinating to watch you work with cameras from across the street. God bless you both, you helped make our day! Oh, and thank you for excellent advice and information!!!
Wow! I just returned from my Christmas holiday in Paris. Being an Asian, i would always stay on the 9th whenever i am in town. The 9th never runs out of good Asian restaurants to recalibrate your appetite after devouring on cheese and butter 😊. It is pretty safe, very much accessible and so much of old world charm alongside modern Paris. I highly recommend staying around Le Pelitier or Grands Boulevard metro stations.
@@demonslayer1196 Hotel Maxim Folies is fantastic, however on a pricey side. During my recent trip i stayed at Walled-Off hotel along the main street of Rue du Faubourg. Just 3 mins walk from Le Peletier metro station. Moderately priced in a very nice neighborhood.
Is the 9th like the Chinatown of Paris? We are taking our Asian mum to Paris and she will struggle with the French food, so looking for places that have a good collection of Asian restaurants
@@someonelikeme7551 NO, however it has got a huge concentration of Asian joints. You don’t only get Chinese food in the 9th. There is a plethora of options from Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese to Indian cuisine.
I really enjoy staying in the 13th and 14th arrondissements. They are cheaper, but you can find nice places to stay with lots of good food, fewer tourists, and you have easy access to the metro. If you just want a “local” Paris experience, especially in the winter, these are my favorite.
@@he-edd-l3784 I've only stayed in the 11th but am considering the 14th; however, the Denfert-Rochereau metro seems daunting (it's the closest to our lodging). Thoughts?
@@annglamgal : Good choice ! Paris 13th, 14th and 15th "arrondissements" are good places to spend a few days in Paris. Many groceries, supermarkets, butchers, boulangeries, cheap restaurants, affordable hotels, etc. Then, jump into buses or metroes... The distances to central Paris are quite short if you are a healthy pedestrian. As a french boomer, those 3 three districts are my favorite choice. Now, I am living near the river Loire (Lwaarr) 70 miles south of Paris, a place full of of fairy tales castles, old houses, outdated inns and antique watermills. When I want to spend a few dans in Paris, I always choose a hotel or a flat in those 3 districts. Then we visit some museum and spend hours wandering in the streets, "nose up" ... Reminds me of romantic moments between 1960 and 1980, when ladies were wearing miniskirts and huge sunglasses.
Hi les frenchies. Paris is a beautiful and large city that attracts people from all over, a sort of meeting place for the world. So many different people and different languages spoken. So many hotels, restaurants, boulangeries shops etc to choose from. I’ve been here over 20 times and you have covered my favorite quartiers if not to stay in, at least to visit while here. I’ve just completed 4 nights in Montmartre and am heading to the latin quarter tomorrow for the rest of my trip. I’m very impressed with how you not only do the research and produce the videos but especially how you make the time to reply to almost all of your followers with comment. I’ve used your guide while here and found it helpful. Everyone should buy a copy. Thank you for doing that. Too many other UA-cam’rs don’t. So please accept my gratitude for your efforts. Your faithful follower, Josef.
I just went to paris with my friend for new years, stayed at Hôtel De Castiglione for £341.64. They gave us an incredible room at the top floor with a balcony that had a view of eiffel tower and the whole city. The area was extremely safe with a lot of embassy security around, a great place full of fashion boutiques that were just BEAUTIFULLL. It was also close to notre dam and basically everything! Highly recommend :)
The notes about AC and accessibility are so helpful to note as is the smaller room size. Certainly not a negative (as many hotels are in old buildings) but good to know. Same with transportation options. Everyone has their priority when traveling or what's important when booking lodging and you explained the areas/what's there so thoroughly. Super helpful! We felt safe everywhere we went (always keeping eyes open to surroundings) and truly enjoyed our time in the Marais.
we had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Gaillon near Opera in November. It was affordable, clean, and staff were amazing. It was a 10 min walk from the Louvre, a 5 min walk to Galeries la Fayette and Plaza Vendome. And of course the Opera Garnier was a beautiful sight to see each day. Im so thankful we stayed there.
OMG, finally a travel channel from people around our age. Is so hard to find a good channel with good advice, especially for all of us not so young anymore, or with so much stamina, willing to city hop Europe with a backpack and a pair of sandals. I mean, we love traveling, but we also love comfort, and we favor a good cozy hotel or Airbnb over a crowded hostal any day. We usually only have breakfast where we are staying, have lunch in the city, and sometimes just get a pizza or some cheese and bread and have a quick sandwich for dinner. Or maybe just a caffeine-free tea if it was more like a lunch/dinner. I haven't seen your whole channel yet, this is my first video and needed to leave you this note. I hope you also cover travel tips. We traveled in 2019 and got bit by the Paris bug really good. Thank you for doing this, and I hope we can met one day when we return to Paris.
Thank you for your wonderful and informational videos! We visited Paris many years ago when we lived in Germany while my husband was stationed there with the Air Force. I have flown through CDG with my job, but have not been back to stay and enjoy. We are looking forward to a trip this year…to visit Paris…eat, eat, eat and enjoy some French wines..rent a car and drive to Normandy for a week. It’s a bucket list trip and you guys makes us want to do it even more! 😊I just can’t tell you how much we appreciate your excellent videos! For us they are the best on UA-cam.
My elderly friend and I stayed on Rue Cler after seeing it in one of your previous videos. We were not disappointed! Even though it was November and a bit rainy, that did not deter the shops/cafes from vending outdoors. And, as advised, I made sure that the hotel we chose had an elevator to save our knees from the stairs. You both offer many great tips in your videos, so thank you! It definitely helped in my planning process! Merci beaucoup!
Oh gosh! I could have sworn I had replied to this months ago! I'm so sorry. The hotel we stayed at was Grand Hôtel Leveque at 29 Rue Cler. Teeny tiny rooms, but clean and had all we needed. I believe Cler Hôtel also has an elevator. Each hotel website usually will indicate this, but if not, it was really easy to ask via email. Enjoy!
Another terrific video from Les Frenchies! We just returned, spending a week in Paris for Christmas. We stayed in Hotel Montalembert in Saint Germain. The staff were all so kind, the room was small but very nicely appointed, and the location was delightful. We had breakfast most mornings just down the block at Maison Galland, a Les Frenchies recommended patisserie .
Living in Montmartre myself, I highly recommend the restaurant Constantia in the Rue des Martyrs. It's a place full of charm with some very friendly waiters and where the locals go. Great food ! Might be an idea for you guys.
We stayed in the middle of the 15th (AirBnB) the first few nights and it was very quiet. We were wondering where everyone was. Then we checked in to a hotel in the 4th and it was a whole different story! So crowded, noisy, busy nightlife. It’s amazing how concentrated the tourists are in the first 4 arrondisements.
@@ladeeafrika depends on your price range. The one we stayed in was featured in a magazine. It was a penthouse in the 15th and during off-season is was almost €400/night
In January 2020, I stayed in Grenelle (right at the La Motte-Picquet Grenelle metro), and for me, it was fantastic. Very, very walkable area for what I was going to do, and such easy metro access. The hotel had an elevator and was reasonably priced. Edit: since I see others naming hotels (I wasn't sure if that was cool when I originally posted this comment), the specific hotel was Art Hotel Eiffel - it is budget friendly and not fancy, but it was clean, had a good bed, and included the option of paid breakfast if you wanted.
@@a.humphries8678 I found it safe as a woman alone, yes. (Remember, this was 4 years ago!) I was there in January so I think there was AC but can't say definitely - there was an in-room unit that I think was heat and cool. For me, it was a good location for sights. Walking distance to the Eiffel tower (so also easy to the get the bateau bus on the Seine to many sights) . I walked to the Louvre and other places, but there's a metro stop right out the door too.
Guys I will tell you I am so jealous, when you in Paris, I love Paris( everything in Paris us so wonderful, cafe, restaurants, everything in Paris is magnific. I love❤paris.)
In May we stayed 8 nights at the Hôtel Caron on Rue Caron in les Marais. Quiet short street off Rue Sainte-Antoine and just a short walk to the Saint Paul metro stop. The hotel is very clean and nicely appointed. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The room was a little bigger than I expected and came with a French balcony and a freshly restocked complimentary mini fridge every day. Just a few steps on the corner was Place Sainte-Catherine with excellent options for meals or late night drinks. Whether walking or metro/bus we found this location to be excellent for easily getting around town. The rate was definitely within our budget. We did not get the daily breakfast for obvious reasons, but the downstairs breakfast room was incredible, all stone walls and arches. I love the vibe of the area and felt at home very quickly. We will definitely stay there again next time we go to Paris.
Great video. Your comments on the 10th were spot on. We stayed at the Midnight Hotel on the Rue du Faubourg and although a nice enough hotel, we were always a little worred after dark. Way to many people sleeping on the streets and never felt comfortable. 1st time in Paris though we stayed at a BnB in the 14th with an amazing lady who owned her own cinema! Brilliant, kept sending poor Michel to the local boulangerie everyday for our baguettes and croissants!
Last trip I stayed in the Montparnasse area. I was not that happy in the beginning but we were there for two weeks and the transportation was just the best. We had access to everything we needed to get around the city, and out to Versailles. The neighborhood was pretty commercial but not too far away were areas with more ambiance. IF it is your first or maybe ONLY trip to Paris, I wouldn't suggest it. It won't give you that "French" feeling and it's not charming.
I will be scheduling my first trip to Paris in 2024 and your videos are so informational. I will definitely be using your information to plan my vacation. The biggest challenge is deciding where to stay!!
We were recently in Paris for a first short time and we love your videos, they helped us tremendously. We stayed at the Hotel St Germain, ate at Les Suffle and used the Batobus for transportation. We also opted to walk to Paul for breakfast, coffee and pain du chocolate. And the highlight was eating at Burger King with many happy Parisians, lol. Thank you for your time and help.
I have been traveling to Paris since 1982, yes, 1982. I first arrived as a 20 year old on my first visit with my girlfriend and not a French word on our lips except amour! Since then, I have learnt a lot as I have visited Paris more than 15 times for business and pleasure. I learned a lot over those years, and am still learning thanks to your exquisite video with details that most people should research before visiting the city of love. I planned to go this year but if anyone is reading, unless you are desperate, wait until 2025, the year after the Olympic Games as this year and next year prices are surely to rise… Besides, Paris is eternal and saving money until then will be well worth the wait from what you have shown in your excellent commentary. Merci❤
My wife and I loved our stay at the Hotel Espagne in the 9th! We were just one block from the Grand Boulevard metro station and there was so much to see and do nearby. It was a 25 minute walk to the Louvre from our hotel, and we also walked to the Eiffel Tower, the Le Calife dinner cruise and the Arc de Triomphe, as well as many other places.
This video was super helpful. My own tip would be if wanting to stay in the 8th near the Champs Elysees, my French boss always has asked me to book him into Hôtel Le Marianne, which I think is an absolute gem for the price. Stylish decor, lovely amenities and much less than other hotels in the area.
Taking my 17 year old son to Paris in mid June. No idea where to stay as he isn't big on shopping or expensive luxuries he just wants the experience to see the art and history. This video is very helpful thank you.
Mid November and early December 2022, I stayed at Le Temple De Jeanne, right across the Saint Paul, line 1, metro station in Le Marais for three weeks. I followed the recommendation of Les Frenchies and I was extremely satisfied. The hotel is comfortable and very cute. Kiana & Nicholas, owners and staff are excellent. I got sick for a few days and they took care of me like I was a family member. I highly recommend this hotel. You will love it as I did. I will definitely go back!
Was just there with my daughter through 1/3. We stayed in an apartment on the Ile St Louis for the third time. She’s only 11 but we like to have space to spread out as well as the ability to make coffee, eat at home, do laundry, etc. if we like. I also really enjoy its central proximity to both banks…and walking distance to Boulangerie de la Tour 😂…which is dangerous.
I returned home last week I stayed at the Maison Colbert Melia Collection In the 5th just a two minutes walk to North Dame and a easy walk to the Louvre and Le Maria.. The hotel was clean and the service was great. The room faced the courtyard that has tables to sit and have your breakfast. I would recommend this quite lovely hotel. I felt very safe. Also there is beautiful artwork throughput the hotel. 💋💋🇨🇦
Whenever I travel to Paris I always stay at Hotel de Latour Marbourg in the 7th. It's right across the street from the small Latour Marbourg metro station, and the neighborhood doesn't feel touristy despite its location next to Les Invalides. Rue Cler and the Pont Alexander bridge are a short walk. Great cafes nearby, and a beautiful American Church nearby on Quai d'Orsay that we attend on Sundays. I always feel like a local when I stay there. :)
very true about the lack of AC in many hotels and also the stair designs. many hotels have elevators, but they stop in between floors and you still gotta go through stairs
Love your videos! My wife and I are headed to Paris for the Olympics. It'll be our first visit. As you can imagine, lodging was pretty hard to come by, but I was able to book the Hotel d'Espagne in the 9th. I hope it's a solid choice. Can't wait!
Thanks for these tips. I have stayed in the 5th & 6th Arrondissements (le Jardin du Luxembourg, Odeon,, Sorbonne, Pantheon areas) and yes, cobblestones & small rooms are part of the charm - not a problem.
Another superbe video. Laughing as we travel heavy, meaning 2 large suitcases plus 2 carry-ons (add goodies purchased along way. We sometimes must re-arrange furniture in a small hotel room to fit all of our luggage. 40 years of France travel and we never change habits but we do usually travel for 30 days.
I recommend going out to La Defence. Easy access to the Metro and a lot cheaper. We had fantastic views of the city . We had a kitchenette and went shopping for groceries in nearby supermarkets. A great way to meet the locals. The Eiffel Tower at night was great from our verandah . A much better view than Sacre Coeur in my opinion. The Westfield 4 Seasons was nearby with the Metro station underneath it. I always felt safe !
I think first time visitors are better off closer to city center. La Defence is more of a business district and may not give the vibe that visitors are looking for.
@@Person-mh6xq It is modern with the biggest shopping centre in Europe. It is cheaper than the inner city and has great access to everything and everywhere. It has the second Arch and great views.
I've been to edouard 6 hotel!just go there, its a wonderful place to stay!everything is well decorated and the staff is great and gentle!!i highly recommend
I stay at the Pullman Tour Eiffel every week for work - it has a tremendous location but for many many dollars less there are so many great choices up Grenelle that offer the same vibe without breaking the bank.
I loved staying at Hotel De La Porte Doree. It was right next to the metro station and across the street was a wonderful bakery. Mom and Pop Hotel with all the charm, ice machine, and free water, flat and sparkling. Highly recommend.
You guys were the most amazing and helpful channel that i watched for my research for our first europe trip. The best and the way you explained are wise was commendable 👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼 Thank you for making my life easy 🤭♥️🇫🇷
We loved our place in the 7th - a few blocks from Metro line 8, and only a few more to 8/13. Lovely boulangeries and bistros, a quick walk to a Carrefour, and a great view of the Eiffel Tower! Also, not far from the promenade along the Seine. We walked a ton, but loved all of it!
@@melaniemarie1410 We stayed at Hotel le Pavillon. I would caution you, though, that there are a lot of stairs to get to rooms. There is a tiny elevator (one person, and maybe a bag can fit).
We found arrondissement 1 the best. Stayed at hotel brighton, it was a fantastic hotel , helpful polite staff, great breakfast, good wifi, A/C , very convenient to walk anywhere in paris, we could return back to the hotel late in night safely
When I was in Paris in May 2013, my friend and I stayed at Hotel 29 Lepic, 18th arrondissement in Montmartre, a block away from The Moulin Rouge and just over half a mile from The Sacré-Coeur. It was very nice and the person at the desk helped us set up a trip to Disney Paris and a double-deck bus tour. The Standard Double size room was simple and clean, budget friendly and had an elevator. Lots of restaurants and great local takeaway food spots nearby. I highly recommend it!
We are planning a trip to Paris in late September of this year. We only have 4 days, because we are also going to Germany, UK, and a Cruise that ends in Rome. I appreciate your video. Your tips seem on spot. Thank you for sharing.
We stayed in the 7th near Rue Cler several years ago and loved it. We stayed at the Hotel Relais Bosquet and were very pleased with the location, room, and the breakfast. We had dinner on or near Rue Cler several times and always got a great meal with excellent service. Very short walk to the Rodin Miuseum, Eiffel Tower, and even to the Arc de Triomphe.
I will be in paris october twelfth through thirty first I would like to know if I could hire you both to be my guide And advise me about Paris. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.I would so very much like to meet both of you. First time in paris
Being several times to Paris, different places. Going for the third time to the 20th, easy to get there by car, nice hotel, nice people, good food, nit expensive and close to metro and tram. Going with my teenage daughter this time. Looking forward to it
We will be visiting Paris for 9 days in May of this year. Our first visit. Your videos and travel guide are proving to be so valuable. Your information will be so helpful. We are going to try as many of your favorite resturants as we can. Maybe we will see you there!
Thank you for all the wonderful videos you two are putting out. It's such great information that we all need to know in order to have a great and safe visit in France.
Safety in Paris or anywhere in Europe has never been an issue for us. My best experiences have been in the 20th and outside the Peripique with locals. It’s cheaper and more fun. We were staying in the 20th once way out and discovered Paris has a tram.
At 8:14, are your friends from Napa, CA walking across Rue de Buci! That was a highlight of our trip to run into you after being in Paris for less than two hours! Thank you Colleen and Antoine for including us in your videos! Pat & Kat!
Our stay at the boutique Albe Hotel in St. Michel was delightful, but a bit noisy. We had A/C so could keep the window closed. The early May weather was delightful with lovely flowers in full bloom at the little park near our hotel recommended restaurant Le Petite Chatelet (quite delicious). Next to that park is Eglise St Julien where we heard a piano recital by a fabulous musician.
Great intro. Pretty much captures all the most significant points in a brief synopis. I feel that each district/arrondissement was fairly characterized in my opinion. Well done.
Thank you for this- it’s a great guide to where to stay in Paris but also perhaps where not to stay if you want to feel safe and comfortable. I get the impression that Paris has changed a lot since I last visited some years ago which is a shame but it’s still such a wonderful vibrant place which you manage to show in your vlogs! I’m hoping I can visit soon! 🤞Happy New Year 🥳 🏴💕
OH MY GOODNESS, MERCI! My wife is planning a trip soon! She’ll need a connection for sure! Would love to talk to you about places to get the most with so little as my wife gets solo. I have to stay home with her mom who is 81. She’s excited because it’s her dream since she was a little girl and even wrote about it in a book, but sadly every year was put off because of death. We lost 4 relatives close in these passed 3yrs and she needs a break from taking care of everyone ❤ much love from Erie, PA USA
I understand completely. Our family has many big losses in a short period recently. Your wife is lucky to have your support. If she is on Facebook, we have the Les Frenchies Travel Paris Travel Tips group there. There are many solo female travelers in that group, enough that we are considering a private group just for solo female travelers so they can share their knowledge, experiences, concern and best practices.
I stayed in August in the 17th arrondissement at the Avama Prony Hotel. The neighbourhood was quiet and public transport (Metro, bus and RER) were really close. Also, there were cafes and boulangeries, but a few of them were closed for the holidays. It was my first time in Paris and although I loved the city, I didn’t feel safe most of the time and I didn’t really get to enjoy my time there at the fullest. Perhaps, being August one of the busiest months, there was a lot of people, so the chance to have someone pickpocket you was higher and I was really careful of my surroundings. Hopefully, I will get the chance to come back in a less busier month and enjoy it more. Thank you for the video!
Bonjour les frenchies. I am dining in Chez Renez now. Danielle says hello and that he is very popular now. This is a couple blocks from my airbnb on Rue Cardinale Lemoine. It is an adorable place. They are offering pot au feu on Thursdays my absolute favorite winter dish. Thank you for this recommendation.
In the 1st you left off the only Hotel we stay at, Hotel Regina du Louvre. Its fantastic and not that expensive considering you're just step from Vendome and the Seine.
Great video! We were in Paris last May and stayed in the 16th which I recommend for a quiet neighborhood feel and great Metro access at Trocadero and Victor Hugo. We stayed at the Renaissance Paris Nobel Tour Eiffel Hotel and loved it.
Hi Frenchies, I really love your videos, I've been in Paris just once for a week years ago, I hope to travel again soon, in the meantime I watch your videos every weekend to learn more about the city. Sending you love and light from Santiago de Chile !!
The area around Denfert Rochereau (the Catacombs) is brilliant. When you check re elevators make sure that they operate from the ground floor, not start one floor up. Lastly.........use buses to get around, they're brilliant.
Our first time to Paris last year and after our River cruise, we stayed at the Latin quarter and interestingly enough we stayed at Hotel Notre Dame. Your first recommendation on this channel. We asked for a room facing the Seine with a view of Notre Dame and we got it.
i have stayed in the same hotel on my visits to Paris. It is in the St. Lazaire area of Paris. The railway station is very close. The metro is less than a five minute walk and most places are within walking distance. On more than one occasion i have had my room upgraded.
My favorite hotel in the 6th is the Hôtel d’Angleterre on Rue Jacob. FWIW, this was the building where the Treaty of Paris was signed to end the Revolutionary War. It is a very friendly boutique hotel in a great location. The famous cafés on the Boulevard St-Germain area a short walk away, as are many wonderful restaurants, such as Semilla (one of my Paris favorites). It is also a short walk to the Pont des Artes to get to,the Louvre. The rooms are a little larger than many places in the 5th/6th
So helpful! In the end we ended up booking something in the 2nd arrondissement. Thank you for these wonderful videos. We are excited to introduce Paris to our son!
Bonne et heureuse année à vous. You put a lot of research and work into your video. Your recommendations are very accurate and helpful. Hope your chain will grow very fast in 2023 with more people travelling.
The Hotel I stayed at was a champagne hotel Hotel Les Bulles de Paris just live the decor inside it was clean staff was great had a glass of champagne every night
Great area to stay and to looked for AirBnb on these area, if that is what you are looking for. Especially if you are staying for more than 4 days and with a large family of more than 4 people.

Hello if you don’t mind me asking where did you stay? Trying to find a hotel with an elevator have knee problems thank you in advance.
I've been looking around where to stay with elderly parents, looking for a hotel/b&B with an elevator. Are you able to share the hotel name? Thanks!
Oh gosh! I could have sworn I had replied to this months ago! I'm so sorry. The hotel we stayed at was Grand Hôtel Leveque at 29 Rue Cler. Teeny tiny rooms, but clean and had all we needed. I believe Cler Hôtel also has an elevator. Each hotel website usually will indicate this, but if not, it was really easy to ask via email. Enjoy!
@@timoneshashepherd6957 I'm so sorry I didn't reply to you sooner!
@sandisocean oh thankyou my elderly Mom and I will be there end of Nov!
Another terrific video from Les Frenchies! We just returned, spending a week in Paris for Christmas. We stayed in Hotel Montalembert in Saint Germain. The staff were all so kind, the room was small but very nicely appointed, and the location was delightful. We had breakfast most mornings just down the block at Maison Galland, a Les Frenchies recommended patisserie .
Loved our stay in the 14th - lots of shops, bakeries, food and atmosphere.
Finally going to Paris in February!!! Thank you guys watching all your videos and receiving a lot of information!!!
Living in Montmartre myself, I highly recommend the restaurant Constantia in the Rue des Martyrs. It's a place full of charm with some very friendly waiters and where the locals go. Great food ! Might be an idea for you guys.
Thank you 🙏
We stayed in the middle of the 15th (AirBnB) the first few nights and it was very quiet. We were wondering where everyone was. Then we checked in to a hotel in the 4th and it was a whole different story! So crowded, noisy, busy nightlife. It’s amazing how concentrated the tourists are in the first 4 arrondisements.
Any chance you can recommend a decent Airbnb..can’t seem to find any
@@ladeeafrika depends on your price range. The one we stayed in was featured in a magazine. It was a penthouse in the 15th and during off-season is was almost €400/night
I am looking at an Airbnb in the 15th. Is it a good area?
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Thank you! We ended up finding one in Le Marais near the Latin quarter.
@@Christanl74 I used to live in this neighborhood and I loved it! Not touristy at all, very French, very chill.
In January 2020, I stayed in Grenelle (right at the La Motte-Picquet Grenelle metro), and for me, it was fantastic. Very, very walkable area for what I was going to do, and such easy metro access. The hotel had an elevator and was reasonably priced.
Edit: since I see others naming hotels (I wasn't sure if that was cool when I originally posted this comment), the specific hotel was Art Hotel Eiffel - it is budget friendly and not fancy, but it was clean, had a good bed, and included the option of paid breakfast if you wanted.
It's also a nice area
We stayed just down from that same station. We found it quite easy for travel. Nice and quiet neighbourhood!
Is it safe for a woman traveling alone? Is it reasonably accessible to sites? Was there AC? Thanks.
@@a.humphries8678 I found it safe as a woman alone, yes. (Remember, this was 4 years ago!) I was there in January so I think there was AC but can't say definitely - there was an in-room unit that I think was heat and cool.
For me, it was a good location for sights. Walking distance to the Eiffel tower (so also easy to the get the bateau bus on the Seine to many sights) . I walked to the Louvre and other places, but there's a metro stop right out the door too.
@@ellbcee How was it for finding groceries, boulangeries (quiche is a must!), and quick bites?
Guys I will tell you I am so jealous, when you in Paris, I love Paris( everything in Paris us so wonderful, cafe, restaurants, everything in Paris is magnific. I love❤paris.)
I stayed near Opera at Hotel London. I loved the neighborhood. I left my window open to listen to the music.
In May we stayed 8 nights at the Hôtel Caron on Rue Caron in les Marais. Quiet short street off Rue Sainte-Antoine and just a short walk to the Saint Paul metro stop. The hotel is very clean and nicely appointed. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The room was a little bigger than I expected and came with a French balcony and a freshly restocked complimentary mini fridge every day. Just a few steps on the corner was Place Sainte-Catherine with excellent options for meals or late night drinks. Whether walking or metro/bus we found this location to be excellent for easily getting around town. The rate was definitely within our budget. We did not get the daily breakfast for obvious reasons, but the downstairs breakfast room was incredible, all stone walls and arches. I love the vibe of the area and felt at home very quickly. We will definitely stay there again next time we go to Paris.
How was the weather in May?
Would much appreciate if you let me know. Thanks!😊
Great video. Your comments on the 10th were spot on. We stayed at the Midnight Hotel on the Rue du Faubourg and although a nice enough hotel, we were always a little worred after dark. Way to many people sleeping on the streets and never felt comfortable. 1st time in Paris though we stayed at a BnB in the 14th with an amazing lady who owned her own cinema! Brilliant, kept sending poor Michel to the local boulangerie everyday for our baguettes and croissants!
Last trip I stayed in the Montparnasse area. I was not that happy in the beginning but we were there for two weeks and the transportation was just the best. We had access to everything we needed to get around the city, and out to Versailles. The neighborhood was pretty commercial but not too far away were areas with more ambiance. IF it is your first or maybe ONLY trip to Paris, I wouldn't suggest it. It won't give you that "French" feeling and it's not charming.
In my opinion your video’s are the best,so practical and applicable to most of us! Thanks for taking us on your journey’s…..
I will be scheduling my first trip to Paris in 2024 and your videos are so informational. I will definitely be using your information to plan my vacation. The biggest challenge is deciding where to stay!!
Avoid july and August 2024
We were recently in Paris for a first short time and we love your videos, they helped us tremendously. We stayed at the Hotel St Germain, ate at Les Suffle and used the Batobus for transportation. We also opted to walk to Paul for breakfast, coffee and pain du chocolate. And the highlight was eating at Burger King with many happy Parisians, lol. Thank you for your time and help.
I have been traveling to Paris since 1982, yes, 1982. I first arrived as a 20 year old on my first visit with my girlfriend and not a French word on our lips except amour!
Since then, I have learnt a lot as I have visited Paris more than 15 times for business and pleasure.
I learned a lot over those years, and am still learning thanks to your exquisite video with details that most people should research before visiting the city of love.
I planned to go this year but if anyone is reading, unless you are desperate, wait until 2025, the year after the Olympic Games as this year and next year prices are surely to rise…
Besides, Paris is eternal and saving money until then will be well worth the wait from what you have shown in your excellent commentary.
Merci❤
My wife and I loved our stay at the Hotel Espagne in the 9th! We were just one block from the Grand Boulevard metro station and there was so much to see and do nearby. It was a 25 minute walk to the Louvre from our hotel, and we also walked to the Eiffel Tower, the Le Calife dinner cruise and the Arc de Triomphe, as well as many other places.
that's awesome
My 6 year old daughter loves your videos in preparation for our first trip there next month. Et moi aussi.
Awe! Thank you for telling us that ♡
This video was super helpful. My own tip would be if wanting to stay in the 8th near the Champs Elysees, my French boss always has asked me to book him into Hôtel Le Marianne, which I think is an absolute gem for the price. Stylish decor, lovely amenities and much less than other hotels in the area.
Just love your videos, so informative but also objective and level-headed, bravo!
Taking my 17 year old son to Paris in mid June. No idea where to stay as he isn't big on shopping or expensive luxuries he just wants the experience to see the art and history. This video is very helpful thank you.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel wonderful thank you!!
Oh! You are there right now! Please tell us how it went. I hope all was great!
Merci!!! You are certainly more like the torch bearers for Paris & France, of course. Keep it coming.👍
Mid November and early December 2022, I stayed at Le Temple De Jeanne, right across the Saint Paul, line 1, metro station in Le Marais for three weeks. I followed the recommendation of Les Frenchies and I was extremely satisfied. The hotel is comfortable and very cute. Kiana & Nicholas, owners and staff are excellent. I got sick for a few days and they took care of me like I was a family member. I highly recommend this hotel. You will love it as I did. I will definitely go back!
Was just there with my daughter through 1/3. We stayed in an apartment on the Ile St Louis for the third time. She’s only 11 but we like to have space to spread out as well as the ability to make coffee, eat at home, do laundry, etc. if we like. I also really enjoy its central proximity to both banks…and walking distance to Boulangerie de la Tour 😂…which is dangerous.
I returned home last week I stayed at the Maison Colbert Melia Collection In the 5th just a two minutes walk to North Dame and a easy walk to the Louvre and Le Maria.. The hotel was clean and the service was great. The room faced the courtyard that has tables to sit and have your breakfast. I would recommend this quite lovely hotel. I felt very safe. Also there is beautiful artwork throughput the hotel. 💋💋🇨🇦
Had lunch at Le Sanglier Bleu while visiting Montmartre. There's a reason it was recommended in this video! Highly recommended!
Thank you 😁
Whenever I travel to Paris I always stay at Hotel de Latour Marbourg in the 7th. It's right across the street from the small Latour Marbourg metro station, and the neighborhood doesn't feel touristy despite its location next to Les Invalides. Rue Cler and the Pont Alexander bridge are a short walk. Great cafes nearby, and a beautiful American Church nearby on Quai d'Orsay that we attend on Sundays. I always feel like a local when I stay there. :)
very true about the lack of AC in many hotels and also the stair designs. many hotels have elevators, but they stop in between floors and you still gotta go through stairs
Love your videos! My wife and I are headed to Paris for the Olympics. It'll be our first visit. As you can imagine, lodging was pretty hard to come by, but I was able to book the Hotel d'Espagne in the 9th. I hope it's a solid choice. Can't wait!
Loved my first trip to Paris. I hope you do too (especially with the Olympics). Have fun!
As always, another comprehensive Parisian video. Your site is the only reference I use.
Best wishes in 2023!
✨🎉✨🎉✨🎉✨🎉✨🎉✨🎉✨🎉
You guys are the best!! I went to Paris last Spring. Thank you for all your informations and advice. It was amazing!!
Thanks for these tips. I have stayed in the 5th & 6th Arrondissements (le Jardin du Luxembourg, Odeon,, Sorbonne, Pantheon areas) and yes, cobblestones & small rooms are part of the charm - not a problem.
Another superbe video. Laughing as we travel heavy, meaning 2 large suitcases plus 2 carry-ons (add goodies purchased along way. We sometimes must re-arrange furniture in a small hotel room to fit all of our luggage. 40 years of France travel and we never change habits but we do usually travel for 30 days.
I recommend going out to La Defence. Easy access to the Metro and a lot cheaper. We had fantastic views of the city . We had a kitchenette and went shopping for groceries in nearby supermarkets. A great way to meet the locals. The Eiffel Tower at night was great from our verandah . A much better view than Sacre Coeur in my opinion. The Westfield 4 Seasons was nearby with the Metro station underneath it. I always felt safe !
I think first time visitors are better off closer to city center. La Defence is more of a business district and may not give the vibe that visitors are looking for.
@@Person-mh6xq It is modern with the biggest shopping centre in Europe. It is cheaper than the inner city and has great access to everything and everywhere. It has the second Arch and great views.
I've been to edouard 6 hotel!just go there, its a wonderful place to stay!everything is well decorated and the staff is great and gentle!!i highly recommend
Ohhh hotel link please?
I stay at the Pullman Tour Eiffel every week for work - it has a tremendous location but for many many dollars less there are so many great choices up Grenelle that offer the same vibe without breaking the bank.
Can you please tell alternative to Pullaman Tour Eiffel which is budget friendly?
Great video. I thought I was pretty good about navigating Paris, but I always learn something new from you guys. Thanks for the tips! Merci bien!
I loved staying at Hotel De La Porte Doree. It was right next to the metro station and across the street was a wonderful bakery. Mom and Pop Hotel with all the charm, ice machine, and free water, flat and sparkling. Highly recommend.
Oh thankyou I will look into this place!
Great thoughts on managing expectations for those travelers who have never been to Paris. Wonderful information as always.
Just back in Australia after a week in Paris. Loved it, and used quite a few of your tips and recommendations. Thank you!!
You guys were the most amazing and helpful channel that i watched for my research for our first europe trip. The best and the way you explained are wise was commendable 👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼 Thank you for making my life easy 🤭♥️🇫🇷
Thank you for this video. I will really need this when I visit Paris for the first time.
I am staying at Hotel Dusquene in October. Can't wait!!
We loved our place in the 7th - a few blocks from Metro line 8, and only a few more to 8/13. Lovely boulangeries and bistros, a quick walk to a Carrefour, and a great view of the Eiffel Tower! Also, not far from the promenade along the Seine. We walked a ton, but loved all of it!
were did you stay please? All hotels with Eiffel Tower view are so expensive :(
My rlderly Mom and I are going in Nov I would love to look up whete you stayed please
@@melaniemarie1410 We stayed at Hotel le Pavillon. I would caution you, though, that there are a lot of stairs to get to rooms. There is a tiny elevator (one person, and maybe a bag can fit).
We found arrondissement 1 the best. Stayed at hotel brighton, it was a fantastic hotel , helpful polite staff, great breakfast, good wifi, A/C , very convenient to walk anywhere in paris, we could return back to the hotel late in night safely
When I was in Paris in May 2013, my friend and I stayed at Hotel 29 Lepic, 18th arrondissement in Montmartre, a block away from The Moulin Rouge and just over half a mile from The Sacré-Coeur. It was very nice and the person at the desk helped us set up a trip to Disney Paris and a double-deck bus tour. The Standard Double size room was simple and clean, budget friendly and had an elevator. Lots of restaurants and great local takeaway food spots nearby. I highly recommend it!
How far is it from the hotel to a Metro station?
We are planning a trip to Paris in late September of this year. We only have 4 days, because we are also going to Germany, UK, and a Cruise that ends in Rome. I appreciate your video. Your tips seem on spot. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you foreat watching!
This is the information that we are looking for. Paris will be much more enjoyable after watching your videos. Thank you so much 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We stayed in the 7th near Rue Cler several years ago and loved it. We stayed at the Hotel Relais Bosquet and were very pleased with the location, room, and the breakfast. We had dinner on or near Rue Cler several times and always got a great meal with excellent service. Very short walk to the Rodin Miuseum, Eiffel Tower, and even to the Arc de Triomphe.
Your travel video presentations are the absolute best I have ever viewed. You two are awesome 😎
the best guide about Paris
we are from Belgium and live in Paris
😍
Thanks!
Thank you!
I will be in paris october twelfth through thirty first I would like to know if I could hire you both to be my guide And advise me about Paris.
Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.I would so very much like to meet both of you.
First time in paris
After watching a few of your videos, I'm loving how you seemingly intentionally use B-roll shots of people tripping or stumbling over something.
thanks so much for doing the work - really gives me the big picture I wanted to have :)
Being several times to Paris, different places. Going for the third time to the 20th, easy to get there by car, nice hotel, nice people, good food, nit expensive and close to metro and tram. Going with my teenage daughter this time. Looking forward to it
We will be visiting Paris for 9 days in May of this year. Our first visit. Your videos and travel guide are proving to be so valuable. Your information will be so helpful. We are going to try as many of your favorite resturants as we can. Maybe we will see you there!
I’m visiting Paris for the first time in Sep. I’ve only watched two videos so far but this is wonderful! Thanks so much
Thank you for all the wonderful videos you two are putting out. It's such great information that we all need to know in order to have a great and safe visit in France.
We always stayed at the beautiful Relais Christine on Rue Christine in the 5th. Our favorite arrondisement
You guys are simply awesome another fabulously informative video
I'm loving ur videos for our next coming short holiday's
Safety in Paris or anywhere in Europe has never been an issue for us.
My best experiences have been in the 20th and outside the Peripique with locals. It’s cheaper and more fun.
We were staying in the 20th once way out and discovered Paris has a tram.
At 8:14, are your friends from Napa, CA walking across Rue de Buci! That was a highlight of our trip to run into you after being in Paris for less than two hours! Thank you Colleen and Antoine for including us in your videos! Pat & Kat!
Our stay at the boutique Albe Hotel in St. Michel was delightful, but a bit noisy. We had A/C so could keep the window closed. The early May weather was delightful with lovely flowers in full bloom at the little park near our hotel recommended restaurant Le Petite Chatelet (quite delicious). Next to that park is Eglise St Julien where we heard a piano recital by a fabulous musician.
Great intro. Pretty much captures all the most significant points in a brief synopis. I feel that each district/arrondissement was fairly characterized in my opinion. Well done.
Thank you for this- it’s a great guide to where to stay in Paris but also perhaps where not to stay if you want to feel safe and comfortable. I get the impression that Paris has changed a lot since I last visited some years ago which is a shame but it’s still such a wonderful vibrant place which you manage to show in your vlogs! I’m hoping I can visit soon! 🤞Happy New Year 🥳 🏴💕
OH MY GOODNESS, MERCI! My wife is planning a trip soon! She’ll need a connection for sure! Would love to talk to you about places to get the most with so little as my wife gets solo. I have to stay home with her mom who is 81. She’s excited because it’s her dream since she was a little girl and even wrote about it in a book, but sadly every year was put off because of death. We lost 4 relatives close in these passed 3yrs and she needs a break from taking care of everyone ❤ much love from Erie, PA USA
I understand completely. Our family has many big losses in a short period recently. Your wife is lucky to have your support. If she is on Facebook, we have the Les Frenchies Travel Paris Travel Tips group there. There are many solo female travelers in that group, enough that we are considering a private group just for solo female travelers so they can share their knowledge, experiences, concern and best practices.
I stayed in August in the 17th arrondissement at the Avama Prony Hotel. The neighbourhood was quiet and public transport (Metro, bus and RER) were really close. Also, there were cafes and boulangeries, but a few of them were closed for the holidays.
It was my first time in Paris and although I loved the city, I didn’t feel safe most of the time and I didn’t really get to enjoy my time there at the fullest.
Perhaps, being August one of the busiest months, there was a lot of people, so the chance to have someone pickpocket you was higher and I was really careful of my surroundings. Hopefully, I will get the chance to come back in a less busier month and enjoy it more.
Thank you for the video!
Paris is a ghost town in August, everybody's on vacation.
Bonjour les frenchies. I am dining in Chez Renez now. Danielle says hello and that he is very popular now. This is a couple blocks from my airbnb on Rue Cardinale Lemoine. It is an adorable place. They are offering pot au feu on Thursdays my absolute favorite winter dish. Thank you for this recommendation.
In the 1st you left off the only Hotel we stay at, Hotel Regina du Louvre. Its fantastic and not that expensive considering you're just step from Vendome and the Seine.
Great video! We were in Paris last May and stayed in the 16th which I recommend for a quiet neighborhood feel and great Metro access at Trocadero and Victor Hugo. We stayed at the Renaissance Paris Nobel Tour Eiffel Hotel and loved it.
Hi Frenchies, I really love your videos, I've been in Paris just once for a week years ago, I hope to travel again soon, in the meantime I watch your videos every weekend to learn more about the city. Sending you love and light from Santiago de Chile !!
The area around Denfert Rochereau (the Catacombs) is brilliant.
When you check re elevators make sure that they operate from the ground floor, not start one floor up.
Lastly.........use buses to get around, they're brilliant.
Is there a cap on fares, like in London? Thanks
Your videos have become spectacular to look at. Do you now use drones too? Very expert little films
Great overview of paris areas!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for the information! I'm going this Spring and your video is helping me SO much!
Our first time to Paris last year and after our River cruise, we stayed at the Latin quarter and interestingly enough we stayed at Hotel Notre Dame. Your first recommendation on this channel. We asked for a room facing the Seine with a view of Notre Dame and we got it.
Love this video. One of my anxiety is finding a good safe neighborhood to stay with good restaurant and shoppes. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!! Really helped with hotel choices!!
Excellent overview of major visitor areas in Paris. Thanks Antoine and Colleen!
Such a useful and informational video. Thank you! Very helpful
i have stayed in the same hotel on my visits to Paris. It is in the St. Lazaire area of Paris. The railway station is very close. The metro is less than a five minute walk and most places are within walking distance. On more than one occasion i have had my room upgraded.
My favorite hotel in the 6th is the Hôtel d’Angleterre on Rue Jacob. FWIW, this was the building where the Treaty of Paris was signed to end the Revolutionary War. It is a very friendly boutique hotel in a great location. The famous cafés on the Boulevard St-Germain area a short walk away, as are many wonderful restaurants, such as Semilla (one of my Paris favorites). It is also a short walk to the Pont des Artes to get to,the Louvre. The rooms are a little larger than many places in the 5th/6th
So helpful! In the end we ended up booking something in the 2nd arrondissement. Thank you for these wonderful videos. We are excited to introduce Paris to our son!
This information is so useful thanks
Amazing video. You two are doing such a great service with these informative videos. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you. ❤
You make Paris very attractive and very simple to visit
Bonne et heureuse année à vous. You put a lot of research and work into your video. Your recommendations are very accurate and helpful. Hope your chain will grow very fast in 2023 with more people travelling.
The Hotel I stayed at was a champagne hotel Hotel
Les Bulles de Paris just live the decor inside it was clean staff was great had a glass of champagne every night
Great area to stay and to looked for AirBnb on these area, if that is what you are looking for. Especially if you are staying for more than 4 days and with a large family of more than 4 people.
